These papers just scratch the surface. They led Sir Fred Hoyle, who
was knighted for his cosmological expertise, to proclaim:
"We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric
theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no
physical significance."
— Sir Fred Hoyle in Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416.
